I recently injured my knee. the injury did hurt alot but the pain subsided quickly and was left with a dull pain in the inner side of the knee joint. the pain has however gradually become more painful and i feel it especially going down steps?

Possible meniscus : To clarify the cause of pain, see an orthopedic surgeon; an MRI can reveal the cause of pain and thereby help determine the treatment.

Medial meniscal tear: As an active 26 y/o male with recent onset of mechanical symptoms of pain and popping about the inside of the knee, a thorough knee examination is indicated to assess for a medial meniscal tear.
